Paris Saint-Valentin Report

Perhaps you were thinking along the lines of a millefeuille en forme de coeur from Lenotre?

Pierre Herme has an elaborate fruity heart for those who are into counting their daily fruits and veg...

A filligree container of what? Qui sait?

Chocolatier Patrick Roger never disappoints when it comes to 'creativity'. This has to be for les mecs non? PLEASE do not leave this outside my door, merci beaucoup. For the bookish among you Hugo & Victor have their usual Moleskine albums full of chockies..

I actually do enjoy Valentines day...No, I have never had a romantic one. Yes, I have a very loving and attentive husband who makes the most of each day we have together, so trying to impress the point on Valentines day is not necessary....no, my love of Valentines day comes from the decision I made whilst quite alone (a singleton) in my college years, and thought I would make the day a celebration of the love of family and friends...a "you are loved, and thank you for your care of me" opportunity. I find quotes, poems, make homemade cards, give tasty treats, and try to put out heart shaped surprises throughout the day: heart shaped pancakes, heart shaped notes in backpacks for example. Love the chocolates (what beauties) you shared, thank you. And your boxers were my favorites....actually, I am going to attempt to make heart shaped macarons for my family this Valentines...wished I could have you taste test them...I will report back. Glad you are getting a thorough check...be safe and keep warm.

What a beautiful post - I truly love the delicacy of your water colors, so simply yet so definitive of the ideas you are trying to get across. I love the sweetness of the little bird in the first one.....xxRobin

So glad to hear you 're mending! Do you think Bill has time to get a passport so he can grab my Valentine at Laduree? I have been very slck in the hinting department! And, never underestimate the power of a Dove chocolate....they used to get me through some tough days! Although, I have to agree on your WW Choc recommendation!

Ooh La la...rrrrrrrrrrrred and chocolate. Romance Romance....The city must be carried on it with windows filled like this, even to make the metro run..and Parisien hearts dance..:) Sigh. And major yums!

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it but now tripping over cobblestones on l'Ile Saint-Louis In Paris. Savor Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris dreams.
